APAC Chart Pack April 2026
Sparta’s Chart Packs are ready-made collections of charts that highlight key commodity market moves, giving traders a fast, visual snapshot of what matters without building charts themselves.
The April 2026 APAC Chart Pack shows the Hormuz closure cascading through Asian crude and product markets. Jet demand destruction is already visible, diesel supply is collapsing as refinery runs drop and medium sour availability shrinks, and naphtha spreads are surging as petchem pulls every available barrel from the West.
Key Takeaways:
- Oil Narratives: Paper and physical markets are telling very different stories. What happens when the disconnect breaks?
- Crude: WTI is the cheapest barrel into Asia. But it can’t replace the medium sour diet Asian refiners need.
- Kero and Diesel: Jet fuel has no alternatives and no strategic storage. Where does demand destruction go from here?
- Light Ends: Asia is pulling every available naphtha barrel from the West. What does that mean for petchem recovery?
- Fuel Oil: Bunker availability is tightening and the curve isn’t pricing it. Where’s the risk further out?
